What a letdown. Had this one just a few days after my first Negra Modelo in years, and I was quite looking forward to enjoying another Vienna lager. Nope. None of the rolling flavors or aroma of Modelo; this one hasnto settle for just meh. It looks inviting, and has a bit of caramel/bready aroma happening but the flavor is so muted as to make it boring. Meeeehhhhhhh.

Pours a light caramel color into a pint with a thin but frothy head that seems to stay along for the ride. Not much smell, only slightly malty. Carbonation is very good. The initial taste is sweet with only a hint of bitter aftertaste and not much else. Easy drinking but lacking in overall flavor by far, I'm sure it appears to the masses because of its blandness. Lacing is very good as well. Overall its a very drinkable brew but lacks the flavors that would make me want to come back for more.

Looks to have a beautiful amber, golden-baked-brown color -- crystal clear. Nice beige-pink head that slowly fades to a nice little lace.
Smells subtle. Earthy. Something sweet, like ripe pomegranates.
Taste, I must say, was a little disappointing at first, but the more slowly I drank it, the more nuance I could pick out. Sour is the dominant taste here--think a very very faint gose-esque sourness. Something prickly at the end, like cactus paddles. Very light touch of citrus hops in the middle, perhaps. little taste of cardboard, of all things, in the high middle when savored, but otherwise is undetectable.
Feels light-to-medium bodied with a carbonated kick.
Overall, I'd drink it if it were handed to me or on sale, but not a go to beer for me.
It' cheap; give it a try.

2009 backlog. Mexican Nite Cerveza Numero Tres!! 12 oz bottle. Aroma is of...nothing. I can literally smell almost nothing. Faint malt presence maybe. Color is amber, pours a nice head with no retention, no lacing. Flavor is maltier than the Corona or Tecate, which is no surprise given the darker hue. Boring stuff.

Bottle handed to me at an event recently...been a long time since I had this one. Pours deeper than expected, a medium amber, with a decently creamy head and some lacing. Nose is grainier than typical for the style, but malty as well. A tuch of sweetness, but not really any hops. Taste is quite malty with both fruity and slightly roasty malts. Some residual sweetness but remains crisp. Overall, not great, but much better than expected.
